Abstract
In this study an attempt was made to segment milk production in the state of Tamil Nadu into homogenous milk zones based on the resource endowments favourable for the development of dairy industry. Based on the results of multi dimensional scaling, four distinct groups of districts were carved out based on their proximity and the districts were identified in different zones. In the first zone, there were seven districts as Kanchipuram, Vellore, Thiruvannamalai, Villuppuram, Pudukkottai, Namakkal and Salem districts.
